The Color Line.

The action of military companies in the
South in Withdrawing from The national
drill because colored companies have en-
tered the contest brings up the color line
question under interesting and novel cir
cumstances. The reasons for this opposi-
ton on the part of the whites to the par
ticipation of the negroes in the contest
are stated as follows in the New Orleans
State
The action of the white troops from the
South will no doubt cause howl to go up at
the North about 1.-THE poor negro and the col
or line" but the stand which they have taken
will be supported by Southern sentiment.
The young men who compose the crack mill
tarv organizations of the South are refined
and educated gentlemen, who belong to the
best families south of the Ohio River, and
they will not tolerate any attempt to place
negro troops on the same social and military
footing with themselves. Let all the com
psnies from the South abandon the idea of
going to Washington unless the management
of the drill arrange for separate quarters for
the colored troops. and agree that they shall
compete for prizes only with companies com
posed of their own race.

The Interstate Commerce Law

The decision of Judge Deadly of the
United States Circuit Court at Oregon, in
regard to the interstate commerce law. is
important. The question at issue involved
the business of the Oregon and Califor-
MIA Railroad and the steamers of the
Oregon Railway and Navigation Company.
The railroad lies within the State of
Oregon. and is in the hands of re-
ceiver. The Railway and Navigation
Company carries goods coastwise between
Oregon and California. The decision OF
Judge Deadly is thus summarized in dis
patch from Portland:
Judge Deadly rules that the transportation
OF property from one State to another is in
terstate commerce, whether the carriers en-
gagged in moving it or the vehicles in which
it is borne cross the line of State or not.
The Interstate Commerce act does not in
clude vt apply to all carriers engaged in in
terstate commerce. bur only such as use a
railway ard water craft "under common con-
troll. management" or arrangement for a con,

one State to another; nor does it apply
to the carriage of property by rail
